LADIES AND GENTLEMEN ....
THE BEATLES!
WAS THE STATEMENT YELLED OUT BY ED SULLIVAN THAT LAUNCHED THE BRITISH INVASION
THIS FRAMED COMMEMORATIVE POSTER WAS PRINTED TO CELEBRATE THE 30 YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THE BEATLES LANDING IN AMERICA AND TAKING THE COUNTRY BY STORM. IT WAS FEBRUARY 9,1964 AND THE COUNTRY WAS STILL RECOVERING FROM THE ASSASSINATION OF JOHN F. KENNEDY A FEW MONTHS BEFORE. I WAS GIVEN THEIR FIRST ALBUM, "MEET THE BEATLES" A YEAR BEFORE AND EAGERLY WAITED TO SEE THEM PERFORM. THEY DIDN'T DISAPPOINT...THEY WERE GREAT! IT WAS THE LARGEST TV AUDIENCE EVER TO THAT DATE AND YOU COULDN'T FIND ANYONE WHO HADN'T WATCHED IT.
THIS PHOTO WAS TAKEN AT WHAT IS NOW KNOWN AS THE ED SULLIVAN STUDIOS DURING THAT PERFORMANCE AND WAS RELEASED AS A LIMITED EDITION COMMEMORATIVE COLLECTABLE IN 1994. YOU SEE ED SULLIVAN TALKING WITH HIS STAGE MANAGER AS THE BEATLES WAIT TO PERFORM. IT HAS THE APPLE LOGO WITH THE PERFORMANCE DATE OF FEB. 9, 1964 AT THE TOP RIGHT CORNER TO PROVE AUTHENTICITY. IT IS #1101 OUT OF 2500 PRINTED, WHICH IS PRINTED AT THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER. THE PHOTO MEASURES 26.5" X 21" WITH THE FRAME MEASURING 34" X 28". I HAD IT PROFESSIONALY FRAMED USING ACID FREE BACKING PAPER. IT'S IN MINT CONDITION AND A TRUELY COLLECTABLE PIECE OF ROCK AND ROLL HISTORY. IT WOULD LOOK GREAT IN YOUR MUSIC ROOM OR MAKE A GREAT CHRISTMAS PRESENT FOR THAT BEATLES FAN IN YOUR LIFE.
